I especially love the bigotry toward gun owners. If anyone stereotyped minorities the way this fool did, they would be ostracized by liberals for all of eternity.
That second amendment really pisses them off!
Yep. Flaming moron.
One, Australia has few “minorities” and, Two, are getting very nervous about the Muslim invasion. It would behoove them to re-arm the good guys. The boy-f••kers have theirs already.
Liberal fantasyland. They should sell tickets.
Thank goodness that guns are illegal in Chicago! Chicago’s murder stats speak louder than anything this clown could possibly write.
Don’t like my guns? Either come and take them or STHU!
IF it says “Annenberg” it means LEFT
Why don’t we compare Chicago and Detroit crime rates to Montpelier VT?
The media relentlessly pounds the issue and the anti-gun lobby is well funded including taxpayer dollars (e.g. "science", "health" care and Bloomberg type nonsense). The culture and effects of gun grabbing is described here: http://www.davekopel.com/2a/Foreign/Australia.pdf

Gun Confiscation in Australia Not Shown to Reduce Mass Shootings

...gun-toting, ill-informed NRA members who miss the days of the West being wild; brainwashed Fox News viewers with a confederate flag painted on their pickup who “need” an AR-15 for hunting ducks...It's refreshing to see a gun control advocate present a logical, reasoned argument that doesn't rely on ad hominem tactics. Oh, wait...
Gee, I thought Chicago had strict gun laws?
Half of all gun death victims are black males.
Nearly all of those blacks were shot by other blacks, by police or by armed citizens defending themselves.
We don’t have a “gun problem” we have a problems with less than 7% of the population that commits violent crimes and murders using guns.
“One, Australia has few “minorities””
You are right—but they do have a few and in a conversation with a friend in Sydney my friend related the nasty habit one of those minorities had of skewering people with spear-like weapons. Australia is a poor example and not only for that reason.
I have become so exasperated with the hard left socialists like this author that I accept they cannot live in an advanced society. Let them secede into their own state—the city-states of SF, NYC, and Chicago. Let them be happy in their worlds but they must leave the rest of us alone.
Only looking at “firearms homicide” is intellectually dishonest. It is overall unjustified homicides that matter. If firearms homicides go down, but overall homicides state the same or go up, you have not gained anything but disarming some of the population.
In Australia the academic concensus is that the gun confiscation did not change the crime rates, in spit of a quick blip up and then down. It is on the same track it was on before the draconian gun laws were put into effect.
Can one of you guys more hep than me explain the hyphen in a man’s name? My stomach is telling me that I think I know the answer but I’m hoping my brain and my stomach are wrong.
